Chapter 371
"Me! I can cook too! I have an advanced chef's certificate!"
A weak voice suddenly rang out, and everyone turned around to see Gong Rui raising his right hand, like a primary school student asking for a report.
Everyone's eyes were full of surprise, especially Rong Rong's, whose big eyes sparkled like a deer's, filled with curiosity, astonishment, and a little anticipation.
Gong Ruiteng blushed and stammered, "I, I used to be a chef."
Gong Rui entered the entertainment industry by chance after participating in an audition for a film.
Before that, he had been working as a chef in a hotel. He did not go to high school or university. After graduating from junior high school, he went to a big city to work as a kitchen helper.
He did this for ten years, and later even obtained a senior technician certificate.
He used to feel inferior because of his education level and dared not openly share his experiences, afraid that people would find out that he only had a junior high school education. But this time he took the initiative to reveal himself, simply because he wanted to cook delicious food for Rongrong.
Gong Rui lowered his head again, unconsciously clenching the hem of his clothes.
He dared not look up, afraid to see the disgust and contempt in everyone's eyes.
Especially Rong Rong, he was most afraid that Rong Rong would look down on him. In front of Rong Rong, he felt like a stray dog on the street.
The confidence he built up as a celebrity, loved by his fans, crumbled quietly at that moment, until a soft, sweet, and clear voice pulled him out of the mire.
"You're so amazing!"
Gong Rui looked up in surprise and saw Rong Rong with a big smile, giving him a thumbs up with both hands.
This was the most beautiful scenery he had ever seen in his life.
Gong Rui knew he would never forget this moment.
"So Rongrong is going with us?" Quan Jia stepped forward and suddenly blocked Gong Rui, making Rongrong see only him.
There was a hint of jealousy in his words; he knew that Rong Rong had softened her heart again, which was why she praised Gong Rui.
They could all see Gong Rui's inferiority complex. His Rong Rong was so lovely and kind. He was proud and liked her, but he still felt a pang of sadness.
Especially when Rong Rong and Gong Rui looked at each other, and considering the future, he could imagine that if Gong Rui really cooked well, he would get more of Rong Rong's attention.
Quan Jia's eyes dimmed unconsciously.
Suddenly, a pair of small hands pinched his ears and shook him from side to side. "Of course I want to go! I want to go on vacation with Jia-ge too!"
"Really?" Quan Jia's eyes lit up, and Rong Rong nodded repeatedly. Quan Jia excitedly picked up Rong Rong and spun her around.
Tch, what is he worried about? In Rong Rong's heart, Gong Rui will never be able to surpass him!
The two of them laughing and joking around looked like they were in an idol drama, and the live stream was filled with shouts, followed by jealous 'curses'.
The production team even took screenshots of the viewers' expressions of affection and warm invitations to Rong Rong during the live stream and showed them to her.
The purpose was to let Rongrong know how much everyone liked her and how much they looked forward to her joining the company.
Those comments did indeed soothe Rong Rong's heart, allowing her to have no reservations and fully decide to participate in the program.
The production team quickly bought Rong Rong a plane ticket.
That afternoon, the group flew to an island abroad, a private island rented by the production team.
The island has estates, vegetable gardens, horse farms, beaches, and many kinds of wild animals.
However, the wild animals were all kept outside the safety line by the production team.
The production team was still quite cunning; they didn't completely cancel the tasks, retaining some simple and fun ones to increase the show's watchability.
Rong Rong always followed Quan Jia around. Quan Jia was responsible for doing the work, while Rong Rong was responsible for being beautiful.
Others wanted to replace Quan Jia, but Quan Jia didn't give them a chance. Besides, after arriving on the island, Rong Rong became very clingy to Quan Jia.
This made Quan Jia grin from ear to ear, and he regretted countless times that he had brought Rong Rong out too late.
If it weren't for coming here, when would Rong Rong ever have relied on him so much?
This is why Quan Jia became so motivated, and even the viewers in the live stream noticed it.
I've never seen my brother so energetic before.
[In the past, taxi drivers would lie down rather than sit, and sit rather than stand when participating in shows. This time, the taxi driver gave me the feeling of inexhaustible energy.]
[She looks like she has a lot of menstrual blood and energy.]
What nonsense is the person upstairs spouting?
Quan Jia was unaware of what his fans and netizens were saying about him; he was currently enjoying doing his tasks.
Today he was in charge of taking Rongrong to the beach.
This island is far from the hustle and bustle of the world and is rich in seafood. When the waves recede, the beach is covered with countless seafood.
At first, Rongrong was very interested and collected half a bucket. But after the sun came out, she felt it was too sunny and hid in the shade of a tree.
The rest were left to Quan Jia, who was to collect three buckets.
He would pick things up for a while and then go to Rongrong's side to catch his breath. Rongrong would feel sorry for him and wipe his sweat, and then feed him some mineral water.
This intimacy was something Quan Jia had never experienced before; it was exclusively for Quan Yu, and Quan Jia was very happy.
Even when I'm not very tired, I still have to come here from time to time.
Quan Jia only finished his task quickly when Rong Rong couldn't stand the increasingly intense sun anymore. He then carried three buckets of seafood back to the manor with Rong Rong.
He thought he could have this happiness for half a month, but who knew that on the fourth day, as soon as he and Rong Rong returned to the manor, they saw a group of people in the manor.
"Hehe, someone suggested that it was unfair that only you could bring a family member, so the production team agreed that each guest could bring one family member."
The director rubbed his hands together and cautiously explained to Quan Jia off-camera.
Inwardly, however, he was screaming with rage.
For no other reason than that none of the so-called family members brought by these guests were easy to deal with.
At least, none of them were people he could afford to offend.
Looking at Quan Jia with a sullen face, he was surrounded by enemies, and either way he was going to die. What could he do? Why were they all making things difficult for him?
The director suddenly ran away crying, and Quan Jia turned his gloomy gaze to the few 'family members'.
"Brother Xiao!" Rong Rong rushed forward joyfully and threw herself into Tai Xiao's arms. "Why are you here?"
What the heck? Rong Meimei knows the nation's heartthrob?!
[It's not surprising that they know each other, they're both from Haishi, and Tai Xiao is also a rich second-generation, they're bound to know each other if they're in the same circle. What's strange is why Rong Meimei and Tai Xiao are so close?]
[Holy crap, the nation's heartthrob has a younger sister too! He always refers to her as his little princess, could it be...?]
“Since the little princess is here, of course I have to come over.” Tai Xiao laughed and patted Rong Rong’s head, his already affectionate peach blossom eyes softening with tenderness.
【Aaaaaah! It's true! Oh my god!】
Netizens erupted in screams once again.
Tai Xiao's fans felt it was like a dream; their idol had a princess who doted on him, and that princess was a goddess admired by everyone.
Tai Xiao is currently the most active second-generation rich kid online with the largest number of fans and the most powerful background.
Most rich kids rarely keep a public profile, but Tai Xiao is different; he's a pro at surfing the internet.
The reason he became famous is quite simple: he's known for his sharp tongue and his ability to expose fakes.
Because of his outspokenness, he has confronted many people online.
Those people are either liars or morally corrupt.
Many of these celebrities had their careers ruined shortly after being criticized by Tai Xiao.
Gradually, Tai Xiao came to be known as a character assessment machine.
Those he praised were eventually proven to be good people, while those he criticized, no matter how good their reputation was, would eventually fall apart.
Furthermore, because Tai Xiao was handsome and somewhat androgynous, with his peach blossom eyes and fox-like smile, he often made people blush and their hearts race.
